"Those are a lot of bones" Danny said.
"Indeed" Pandora nodded.
"And all of those are mine?" Danny asked awed.
"By the wording our laws yes, they are. We only came to make sure that they would respond to you" Pandora said.
A few weeks ago Danny received a message indicating that for the 'Right of Conquest' everything of Pariah Dark was now his. It included his lair, treasures, weapons, army and title, so now Danny could be known as the Ghost King Phantom. Danny's response was a rotund no, he didn't want to be the ghost king at all.
After the reassurance of Clockwork, Frostbite, Princess Dora and Pandora that he didn't have to govern them, after all they been without a king for thousands of years and know how to govern their own places, and that he didn't have more responsibilities. Only then Danny accepted it.
The first thing he did was explore the lair, it was a huge castle but empty and dready, lucky the sarcophagus with the previous king wasn't anywhere in the castle, Clockwork later told him it had been moved to a secure location. The decor wasn't really his stile, probably Sam but she would want other colors than red and black, just as he finished the thought the color of the castle changed to a base black with white decor, Danny liked that some of the details looked like stars.
He then found the treasure room, more like a basement filled with gold and precious gems. Apparently he was rich now though he had to ask for help to use it in earth, there was no way people don't question him in the origin of it, maybe Tucker would know, he was really good at business, just not very lucky on them.
The last location was the outside, where the skeleton army of the Ghost King rested and defended the castle in case of attack, problem was Danny didn't know how to wake them up, or what to do with them in cse they woke up. That's why he had asked for help and Pandora was the one to respond, being the closer to his new lair and having an army of her own made her the best choice.
"So what do I do?" Danny asked looking clueless at her.
"Tell them to rise to your service" Pandora said.
"Um… rise?" Danny said to the semi buried skeletons getting no response.
"Try to say it in a commanding voice" Pandora suggested amused.
"Urgh alright. But don't laugh" Danny pleaded embarrassed.
"Of course" Pandora said trying to hide a smile with one of her hands.
Danny cleared his throat before screaming "RISE!"
The ground trembled while the undead army stood in front of its commander. There were thousand of them, the great majority were made of human skeletons, armed with swords and bows, some even had axes. There were some animals mostly horses, dogs, five unidentifiable masses of bones put together to make quadruped beasts the size of elephants and two dragons a little smaller than Princess Dora. All with their bones bright green of ectoplasm and ready for they orders.
"Now what?" Danny asked in awe of the sheer numbers of skeletons.
"Now you order and they do what you say" Pandora said.
"So if I say to bow woul-" Danny was interrupted by the sound of thousands of bones moving at the same time, his army bowing to him.
"Alright. You can rest now, return to sleep" Danny ordered and his army obeyed.
"They will do anything I say even if it wasn't an order right?" Danny asked.
"It's that way with non sentient soldiers. I prefer mine to think and learn, that's why I reclute others that want to fight for me" Pandora explained.
"Oh like a robot army" Danny said.
"I don't know what are those but if it helps you understand then yes, like that" Pandora said slightly confused, she'll have to ask later.
"Wait, what would happen if I wake them in Amity Park?" Danny asked.
"They will appear there, probably rising like you saw here" Pandora said.
"I don't want the whole army to appear if I need like only three of them" Danny said worried, he didn't want to swarm the town with green skeletons.
"Hm… try to be more specific in your sumon" Pandora suggested.
"Alright. Three rise!" Danny exclaimed.
Three skeletons woke up, two humans with swords and one animal, it looked like a horse but with fangs.
"Yes! It worked! You can rest now" Danny said and the skeletons obeyed.
"Thanks Pandora" Danny said, he didn't want to imagine all the mistakes he would had made without help.
"You are welcome friend. Though just for curiosity, what do you plan to do with your army?" Pandora asked.
"Well, not much, maybe help me fight other ghosts in Amity. I don't have a lot of ideas right now" Danny said.
"I see. Well I have to return to my place, feel free to visit anytime you want" Pandora said.
"Sure, see you later. I better go and finish to explore the castle I want to show my friends all of it" Danny said excited.
"Good luck with that" Pandora said waving, she was glad that over all ghosts it was Phantom the one to defeat the tyrant king. An army that big in the hands of the most compassionate ghost she had seen in decades would do good to everyone.
